  The Effluent Society

  Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he became increasingly concerned about the impact of development, pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues are in the mainstream and have become a global priority.
  
  Although the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress. Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and, as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the artist.

  Lil' Cub is a small Piper Cub airplane. In this first book, the story is all about the Mercy Flight. It's a sunny day, and Lil' Cub is flying over the neighborhood looking for someone to play with. Lil' Cub spots his friend Bently. Bently is a helicopter. Bently tells Lil' Cub that he has been sent by Mr. Dispatcher to find him, as there is a very important job for him to do. Lil' Cub finds Mr. Dispatcher at the door to the hangar. Mr. Dispatcher tells Lil' Cub he is perfect for the job that needs to be done because he is small. The job is delivering medical supplies to Doc Bowing on the high desert. Lil' Cub feels honored to have been asked to do this Mercy Flight and tells Mr. Dispatcher that he is more than willing to do the job. Lil' Cub sets off on his mission and, during the flight, encounters some bad weather and high winds. Lil' Cub talks to himself and says he must keep on going, for people are counting on him to deliver this medicine. With each new obstacle that confronts him, Lil' Cub tells himself (over and over) “I can make it! I can make it!” After a very long flight, Lil' Cub comes to the place where Doc Bowing is waiting. Doctor Bowing is very happy to see that Lil' Cub has made it safely and thanks Lil' Cub for completing the mission. When Lil' Cub returns home, his friend Bently is waiting for him, and Bently tells Lil' Cub that he is a hero! Lil' Cub replies that he feels very good because even though he is very small, he was able to help many people by delivering the much-needed medicine.

  The House with the Mezzanine And...

  Anton Chekhov

  Anton Chekhov was a Russian playwright and short-story writer who is considered to be one of the greatest writers of all time. His career as a playwright produced four classics, and his best short stories are held in high esteem by writers and critics. Along with Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg, Chekhov is often referred to as one of the three seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre. Chekhov was a physician by profession. "Medicine is my lawful wife", he once said, "and literature is my mistress." 
   
  Chekhov renounced the theatre after the reception of The Seagull in 1896, but the play was revived to acclaim in 1898 by Konstantin Stanislavski's Moscow Art Theatre, which subsequently also produced Chekhov's Uncle Vanya and premiered his last two plays, Three Sisters and The Cherry Orchard. These four works present a challenge to the acting ensemble as well as to audiences because in place of conventional action Chekhov offers a "theatre of mood" and a "submerged life in the text". The plays that Chekhov wrote were not complex, but easy to follow, and created a somewhat haunting atmosphere for the audience. 
   
  Chekhov at first wrote stories to earn money, but as his artistic ambition grew, he made formal innovations that influenced the evolution of the modern short story. He made no apologies for the difficulties this posed to readers, insisting that the role of an artist was to ask questions, not to answer them. 
   
  Here is perhaps his finest collection. A true audiobook treasure!

  A Goddess Reborn 
  Erotic Mythology has everything the horny reader could want. In this volume, we’ve got two journeys starring both clever and proud women. Maybe a little too proud. As they travel, they’ll learn many lessons that will humble their spirits and strengthen their resolve. And redden their asses. 
  Pheme has been sent to the Minotaur’s labyrinth as a sacrifice. She thinks herself clever with her plan to escape, but there are beings wiser than she in the maze. Beings smarter and hornier. Around every corner, there could be pleasure, torment, surprise, and even death in the lair of the Minotaur. Watch your step– there are monsters here. 
  Aida is determined to become the next High Priestess of a love goddess. The only way to do so is to descend into the underworld and fight her way through trials loosely based on Egyptian legends of the afterlife. The only way to get out is to ascend, and the only way to ascend is to pass each test and satisfy every demand in every way she knows how. And she knows lots of ways to satisfy. 
  A priestess sworn to a goddess of love and sex is determined to rise to the rank of the high priestess. But before she can ascend, she must descend deep into the underworld to face trials that will take all her skills to pass. 
  Aken, the ferryman, will take great persuasion. Isis and Nephthys promise pleasure but lay a trap. Ammit, the devourer, has no mercy. 
  These tests will take her to the heights of pleasure and the depths of pain. The only way out is to be reborn.
